    My New [H]ard Rig, Now with $1500 Budget !!

    Danny, I've never been to the Micro Center I'm gonna use, if you have been in store, do you think it makes sense to buy those items after going hands on there for some test drives? Also, what do you have that you like for a mouse/keyboard setup? Thanks

    My New [H]ard Rig, Now with $1500 Budget !!

    MSNY, Thanks for the heads up. Now, being far removed from anything considered a gaming mouse, what am I looking for as minimum specs to compliment my new rig? My thought is this: I see my rig through my monitor, but I touch my rig through the mouse and keyboard. I want to get quality...

    Tiraides, you planted the seed, and the more I thought about it, yeah, let's do this right !! I appreciate you telling me early on that there is value spending up, instead of spending down ;) If you can take a more in depth look at the carts I'm sitting on, and want to sharpen it up...

    My New [H]ard Rig, Now with $1500 Budget !!

    Well, I think it was Tiraides who called it . . . if your budget can grow (from $600) you will get a more satisfying build . . . I have rolled Father's Day/Birthday(July 21) into the $600 budget and am now working with a $1500. I will repost my Q&A: 1) What will you be doing with this...

    My [H]ard Rig is 4 years old, time for a new one !!

    Haha, you have to stop talking to my wife, she is already bracing for a busted budget !! When I think back to my Pentium II Gateway system with 250Mb hard drive that I dropped 3 grand on back in 2000, I wonder why I'm splitting hairs over $600 versus $1000 ?????

    My [H]ard Rig is 4 years old, time for a new one !!

    Aha, that would explain some of the pricing on the low end . . . Good point. In a perfect world then, a $800 build today could morph into my $600 by the end of summer, if I should be so lucky !!!!

    My [H]ard Rig is 4 years old, time for a new one !!

    I can wait this out to August no problem. If not for the fall releases of Battlefield 3 and MW3, I may not be even looking to upgrade/build, but I am so geeked up for BF3, I'm willing to build a new rig to play it. They got me right where they want me !!!!!! I was hesitant to throw this out...

    To All: Thank you for the input and links to components, I very much appreciate it !! I would say after reading through the replies I need to sit tight until mid august to see where these hardware prices settle down to, and maybe repost my details for a final crack at spec'ing the system...
